sorry Trenton I've tried replying to the original post but I guess it not an option in this forum set up,

either way I'm hoping if either of you guys sees this you'll be able to explain to me what you guys have done

I have the exact same problem in the original description and looked everywhere for the limit switch. My sup wants me to start with the limit switch though I read that the solenoid can be bypassed with a 24v contactor to eliminate the solenoid as the issue. It sounds like you guys have a manual, not too sure how guarded that is but if you could tell me if there's a limit switch on this model or its location I would really appreciate it. I did read in the operator hand book about setting the height with the bolt behind the left fork I might me4ss with it a bit and see if I don't screw it up some more, Thanks for your guys help -Nic C

Have you check the Solenoid on the side of the Pump? sometimes it gets stuck.

Or your cable going to your tiller handle has a short.

Or your High Limit Switch is stuck on.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
